Access by going under the overpass off Shore Rd. and continue to the Pier.

BEWARE THAT THE PATH HAS A LANE FOR CYCLISTS AND ANOTHER FOR PEDESTRIANS. YOU AND YOUR FANS NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN CROSSING THESE LANES! THE PARK IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! HEADPHONES ARE NOT ALLOWED AS YOU HAVE TO BE AWARE OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

• UTURN 1: Approximately 1.59 Miles from Start
• UTURN 2: A tenth of a mile from the Start Line.

• UTURN: 1.55 Miles from Start

 START & FINISH @ American Veteran Memorial Pier

 It’s a 1 LOOP course  for the 5K and a 2 loop course for the 10K along the Shore. You start running South and u-turn at 2nd water station. Where the U-turn sign is.  Head back North towards the start/finish area and U-turn and head back South. Complete 3 loops and then finish. We will direct you to the start location on race day. Miles markers will be placed for every mile. Water tables will be placed at three locations on the loop providing you with 2-4 opportunities to pick up electrolyte drinks, water, and gels. Each will have music to keep you going.

 TIMING:

You MUST wear your BIB on your front torso to assure that you get timed. You will go over a timing mat for each loop so that you get timing splits for every loop. LIVE! Every time you go over the timing mat your time will be uploaded to our results page. www.citytri.com/results. Share this link with your family and they will see your time as you complete each loop.

AWARDS CEREMONY:

We have two ceremonies, first for the top 3 male and female OVERALL. Shortly after we hold the age group ceremony. Live timing allows us to start the ceremony quickly so do not leave without your award or have a friend hold it for you. We do not mail awards.

TRANSFER OUT TO ANOTHER EVENT.

If you cannot make it and didn't buy insurance protection, we have you covered. Pay a $25 transfer fee and choose another event from our calendar. You can complete this online by logging into your active.com account, selecting "my events" find the Brooklynite Summer Half Marathon event, and you will see the option to transfer out.

YOUR FANS:

The best place for them to watch is at the UTURN located near the Finish line and then the Finish Line (Remember they must be careful when crossing the bike path as there is a lane for cyclists!) They’ll see you pass for each loop! So, prepare them to get their cheer on! We’ll pass out some cheer equipment as well, cowbells, horns, etc.

Pictures and videos uploaded shortly after the event. Live chip timing, live streamed on YouTube, and live digital tracking so friends and family can watch you from anywhere.
